Colloquio
Bridgewater reached out to have me complete a series of behavioral evaluations online. About 3 weeks later, I was contacted to come in for second round interviews.The first portion was a group interview where we worked through a debate question. The debate was very casual and collaborative, an overall great experience. Then we broke into individual interviews. These questions were more similar to "walk me through your resume" questions as well as few deep probing questions like: "What is your biggest failure as a human?" and "Do you think your parents are proud of you?" From there, we were all brought into a room for an hour. We were told that some of us would be taken out for another round of interviews. Out of 12 they took 3 of us back. I was taken back for another round of interviews. This interview was much more intense with difficult and probing questions. This portion felt more like an interrogation looking for holes in my resume. While I did not receive an offer and the process was very intense, it was actually an enjoyable experience.

Colloquio
The first round interview essentially consists of the interviewer meeting with a group of about 4 candidates. They give you one question and you all discuss it for about an hour. The interviewer will let the interview progress naturally and see how candidates interact with each other, and then add a new twist into it to see how you all respond.
The question had nothing at all to do with finance.
I didn't get invited for a second-round and was never given a reason, but I'd say I walked away feeling like I was given a fair shot. They seem to place a lot of emphasis on testing what's under the hood.

If you could press a button to go back to 1940, before nuclear weapons were invented, would you press it - bearing in mind that if you did humanity would never technologically advance past its current point?

Colloquio
There's a group discussion and then a one on one (or a two on one).
Minimal focus on actual finance (they believe they'll have to re-teach everything anyway), so the discussions are about broader socio-political or sometimes ethical questions. Focus is on the ability to systematically explain your thinking ("what's your framework?")
Having a super clear reasoning tree is helpful.

They actually let interviewees suggest their own questions sometimes.

Colloquio
Multiple rounds of debate-like moral and philosophical questions and a smattering of resume and behavioral questions. Mainly to test decision-making abilities and your overall argumentative skills rather than in-depth knowledge of finance or current affairs.
